Free Christmas Animated Gifs

Just for fun lets start off with a Ravens and Snowman Animation

<img src="http://www.arthouse.org/Xmas/snowraven.gif" >

Now to put this animation or any others from this page just follow the instructions below.

Just for Christmas you can copy and paste the code from any of the gifs to your Squidoo pages to display the animated gifs. Simply copy the white code on black background below each image into your squidoo edit box. You can also use them on any other webpages you run. But I do ask that in return you either link to: (copy and paste any of the code on black)

My Animation and Art site Animation Arthouse

<a href="http://www.arthouse.org/" >

or to my Zazzle store Arthouse Dragons

After Christmas the gifs will no longer be accesible using this code. To use any of my animated gifs then you will have to download the gifs from my website and upload them to a server of your choice and link them from there. See the help section Uploading gifs to your own website for more information on how to do this.

A line of Snowmen! put them at the top of your squidoo page! A larger line is also available from my website.

The copy and paste easy way keeps the images on my website but you are linking to them. This is great and easy for you but eventually I would go broke from paying all that excess bandwidth! (webhosts charge you for using bandwidth .. ie the more people download from a site, the more you have to pay) A lot of people who provide animated gifs therefore ask users to download the gifs first, (right click and save to disk on a pc, ctrl click on a mac) then upload either to their own website or to an img storing facility like photobucket. Then you need to add the code to your webpage which will look something like this

<img src="http://full address of where your image is posted/name of image.gif" >

Simple really. For more information on using html in squiddoo pages see these links which I found really useful in building this site!
